That's exactly what it's about. If I want to put 2 medium pulse lasers in each of my warhawk prime's arms, then I should be able to equip lower arm actuators, but MWO doesn't let me. Also according to the patch notes, the gargoyle C should be able to put lower arm actuators in it's right arm, yet both Li Song and Smurfy show this as not allowed (even if installing 6xER smalls), I'm downloading the patch atm, so I wonder what it will be (I suspect Smurfy is probably right). This alone will stop me from buying that mech, so PGI might want to rethink it's stance on lower arm actuators (i.e. always allow them if NOT using PPC's, Gauss, or Ballistics (and really it should only be large ballistics, UAC 2's and 5's shouldn't impact this, but such is this game....)).

And I agree entirely with that stance. For a 'Mech with so much of its firepower in the arms, it needs the lower actuators.

On my Mad Dog I can put 3 LPLs and a couple tons of ammo and still have a lower arm actuator, total weight of 20 tons. That's almost twice as heavy as a gauss rifle.

Its not like arm-mounted ballistics are OP, (big convergence issues, i.e. Black Widow) or that it makes sense technically.

I'm forced to use lasers if I want arm actuators but I find projectiles to be more fun, especially on the arms.

if we have the slots for the actuator, let us use it please, its just fun to be a space cowboy.

PGI is not following construction rule consistently when it comes to LAA.
Its very annoying

There has been another thread on this... PGI just don't care!
LAA on direwolf won't bring them money i guess.
